People who romanticize an Africa They’ve never seen Like to identify themselves With lions. It’s all roar and hunt, Quick fucks and blond manes. People love the word pride. Haven’t you seen the parades? Everybody adores a lion But me. I want to be a giraffe. I’m already tall and long-necked. In the real Sahara, a giraffe beats A lion’s ass every day On Instagram. I’ve seen A giraffe shake the leaping cat Off its back and toss it like litter. I’ve seen a giraffe stomp hooves Down hard on the lion’s face Before it got the chance To meow. I want to be a giraffe And eat greens of every variety Straight out the tree. I already Like to get high. Lions need Animals like us. We need no prey. I already won’t chase anybody For my food. But maybe I can still be romantic. Maybe I can still be romantic in spite Of my pride. Someone will notice. Up the sky, not down the street. You can watch me while I watch you And the rest of the savanna From my aerial view. Lord, Let me get higher. Just one of me
